Update on the Job Hunt

This is not as fun a post as one might expect. I have been job hunting for a month now, and I am surprised by how many resumes I have sent out and how many cover letters I have written, and yet, almost nothing. So despairing. And I realize that in this type of economy, it is to be expected. But still, I know I would be an asset to any company that wants me. Or, at least, so I keep telling them whenever I send off my resumes and letters.......

But there is some good news on the horizon: I have been in contact with one company recently and completed a phone interview, which seemed to go well. It all started when someone from the HR in the company recruited me after viewing my resume online. I took a look at the job description, seemed interesting, and at this point, decided why not. It seemed like a good opportunity and I am ready to try something new and outside of my area of comfort.

I did not really think much about it, but was glad when I was invited for a phone interview. And to be honest, it was only in preparing for the interview that I took a long , close look at the company. And I really liked what I saw. The company atmosphere, what they were doing, and where they were located. And I actually started to get a little excited about the opportunity to work for them.

Well, the phone interview seemed to go well. Well, not just seemed. As I have advanced onto the second round and need to set up a skills assessment. I do well at tests, though I have no idea what this will be like, so it is hard to prepare. But always onwards and upwards....
